"Money is the root of all evil"

Fox News reported this morning that Buckingham Palace's security had been breached when a reporter paid off one of the queen's chauffeurs to sit in her vehicle and gain entry to the residence ... all for around $1,600.

If this journalist has been a terrorist posing as a journalist, the queen ... indeed, the entire royal family ... could be dead today.

That made me think back to the saying, "Money is the root to all evil," and it certainly seems to be true in almost every case I can think of including this one. The saying is a variation of Timothy 6:10 from the King James Bible:
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
For a mere $1,600, a member of the queen's staff was willing to compromise lives and national treasures. Is anyone safe?
